My M3 oil analysis came back with flying colors (no additional metal wear). I've been using Ceratec in the engine.
-35 degrees, started the engine, idle for 3-4 mins before driving and you'll be fine. Initially I thought I might need a block heater, no need.
And you run 10w-60 all year or another oil?

When I was shopping for the M3 I was cringing a bit thinking of using it in the winter with that oil.
